Peat For Fuel.
Special to the Globe.

SptCIuI 10 the GIODe.
SUPERIOR, Wis, March 5.-A company
is forming for the purpose of producing
fuel from crude peat. The capital stock is
$500, 900. Experiments have been made
showing the peat can be soldified to a den
sity of eighty pounds per cubic foot, or
equal to Illinois coal. 1t can be produced
at cost not exceeding the freight alone on
coal from Buffalo to Superior and one ton
will evaporate more water than cord OF dry
oak wood. The company proposes to man
ufacture peat coke, pronounced by ex-
perts 70 be superior to the best hardwood
charcoal. This will certainly give the iron
industries new impetus, the want of a re-
liable fuel in sufficient quantities having
been the greatest drawback. The COM
pany will contract for 100, 900 tons to be
delivered before Aug. l.

CARDINAL GIBBONS,

Cardinal GIBBONS has done his church a
good service. as we'll as performing an act
of justice to the labor classes in this coun-
try, by explaining to the Vatican the real
condition of labor in America and the pur-
poses of the labor organizations He has
shown very clearly that there is nothing in
the various labor unions in this country to
conflict with the doctrines or teachings of
the Roman church. He says there is no
reason why person should not be Knight
of Labor and consistent Romanst at the
same time, and has made his explanation so
clear to the head of the church at Rome,
that possibly no one will attempt to contro-
vert his views. The cardinals action in
this matter is exceedingly timely, in view
of the fact that an organized movement
was being made to prejudice the pope
against the labor organizations in America
and to use the vast power of the Roman
church in suppressing them. Cardinal
GIBBONS conduct in this matter confirms
the wisdom of bestowing the red hat upon
him. He is prelate Jealous in the cause
of his church, and an American who is
loyal to the republican institutions of his
